This turned out to be a typo on the CPU lids. Panic over.

Yep - that way you have a portable drive AND the SSDs not wasted.

It's worth doing the transfer. I got my Recoil 17 on eBay and the seller transferred the warranty to me. PCS have been great with after-sales as they treat me as if I was the original buyer. They're a good company.

He's not rude - just direct.

Intel says it's a different issue but worrying none the less.

Having it on your lap is NOT a good idea. You will block the air vents with your legs and it will get toasty. Under heavy load (such as gaming, video rendering, photo batch edits etc) the laptop will throttle without the cooler. If you're doing regular stuff then you would be OK.

It might be worth doing as a test to see if it works at least. There might be a compatibility issue with that new drive and your laptop. That should not happen but you never know till you try. Also - have you tried with a different NVMe drive to see if that fails too?

If you have a USB NVMe enclosure, another option would be to use Macrium Reflect to migrate/clone your Windows Installation from the old drive to the new drive. You can get it here: https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree

It might be worth checking with PC Specialist if your laptop actually has Advanced Optimus. Not all do.

If you get the recoil 16 with 4080 make sure you get the watercooler as well.

Your original spec was on the AM4 socket which is now end of life. AM5 is the way forward for the next few years and the build Ekans2011 has specced looks great.

For what it's worth, my Tongfang device is very well built. Not sure what they were like in the past but I've no complaints about mine as of now.

Go all out nd get her a maxed out Recoil 16. 14900HX and 4090 - you'll not need to heat the room when you get that going :ROFLMAO:

They are at the default settings but I run with a 150mv undervolt on the CPU as this helps keep the temperatures under control. The external cooler is the main thing though. The water pipe in the 2023 Recoils concentrates itself on the GPU and the CPU only gets help from what can be passed...

With all that said you still need the watercooler.

I'll compare my setup with what you suggest, I might be able to squeeze out a bit more performance on my system. My best Cinebench R23 score is 31,040 - it will be interesting to see if my score goes up. 3D Mark TimeSpy shows that I'm above average for my specs, (don't remember the score off...

It's explained here: https://www.howtogeek.com/801842/why-is-my-ram-reporting-half-its-speed/ Put simply, it's reporting the correct frequency. DDR means Double Data Rate which means there are 2 transfers for every clock cycle (one for the uptick and another for the downtick), which in your...

I was going to wade in on this one but you guys have covered everything. Norton - not much better than malware these days. Glad you don't have it. It was good many years ago but has been hit by the phenomenon described in this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification...
